Last month I was in search for suitable table legs for a console table that one of my daughters requested for their new home.

After a long search for the appropriate scale I stumbled upon an alternative that I could order from Lowes. – Stair balusters 1 ¾” square and a good length for the table. As they were looking for a satin black finish, I elected to just use poplar for the whole construction.
I cut the 7” square off of one end and used it to turn the small feet under the bottom shelf.
It is a small table 40” long, 13 ½” wide with about 6 1/2 “ aprons. The overall table height ended up as about 33”. I used dowel joinery for the legs to aprons and pocket screws for the interior web frame. It was finished with 2 coats of General Finishes Lantern Black milk paint and added 4 coats of General Finished High Performance Satin clear coat.
Delivered it yesterday and they seemed pretty happy with the results. Thanks for looking.
